Currently using this for my steam deck via 8bitdo adapter. One major issue currently is that it doesn't work very well with games that require using the right joystick when in bluetooth mode. The only way for me to get the controller to work correctly is by buying a separate 8bitdo wireless dongle (brick color or new dark color is fine) and pair it using a usb c to usb a adapter and putting that on the steam deck. This allows the controller to go into x-input mode which is perfect for Steam. Also note this does NOT work for iPhone devices. This is meant for android and pc. It also does not work on Xbox console devices weirdly. Overall it's a nice little controller to use on the go with my steam deck when playing classic games. D Pad feels great for fighting games (played street fighter v). Triggers are decent and buttons feel good too. Joysticks are alright, but wish they had more heft. I couldn't figure out what the star button does but the 8bitdo button takes screen shots on the steam deck.

Very solid for use with XCloud and games on mobile designed to work with a controller. Clips on easy, very sturdy, and the buttons feel good. The clip isn't the easiest thing to take with you on the go, since its very oddly shaped and doesn't fold up flat, so if you're looking for something that you can put in a pocket to have a handheld gaming experience on the run its a little cumbersome, unless you have a bag or something that you can store the clip in. Battery life is surprisingly good as well for something so small. I would not recommend for someone looking to do game streaming from your PC using Steamlink or an app like Parsec. For some odd reason, the PC does not read the controller inputs right, it gets several of the buttons swapped and can not seem to find the 'resting' position of the triggers. The problem only occurs when streaming from a PC, and happens regardless of what mobile device I'm testing with. I believe it to most likely be a driver issue, but unfortunately driver support for this device is basically non-existent. So to recap, yes for those looking to play games from Xcloud or games designed for mobile, no for anyone looking to use their mobile for game streaming from their PC.

Works great on PC with bluetooth in either DInput by itself or XInput mode (with the 8bitdo wireless adapter). Love that when paired with the 8bitdo wireless adapter, pressing the Xbox button brings up the Xbox game bar for communication with my Xbox Live friends. Will be buying another for 2P gaming on my PC. Seeing a lot of reviews saying it doesn't work with iOS or Xbox Series X. Please do everyone a favor and read the description before you review something. Even though it works fine on PC, this controller is specifically designed to play XCloud games - a service that is exclusive to Android devices. XCloud is not on iphone or Xbox Series S/X.
